Bryan Folkers, DO

Medical Practice:

Dr. Bryan Folkers, Plastic Surgeon, is now providing care at Cass County Health System in Atlantic. Dr. Folkers sees patients in the Outpatient Clinic and on a monthly basis. He also does a number of surgical procedures at the hospital so patients don’t have to travel out of town for care. “Atlantic has a great hospital with the capability to provide the specialty services I offer without patients having to travel,” he noted. “For example, on my first clinic day here I treated a burn patient who came into the Emergency Department. He will have all of his treatments done right here. Burn treatment can be done and done well right here in Atlantic.”
